Daily Verse –“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16, NIV

I really like to know what time it is. How about you? When I was in my first semester of my freshman year at Baylor University, I lost my favorite watch. This was long before the days of the sports watches. My watch was silver, somewhat dainty, and it fit on my left wrist just perfectly. I loved that watch.

No matter how much I searched, I could not locate the watch. So, I headed to Bible class rather disappointed. My Bible professor noticed and invited me to her office after class to talk. When I told her the story of the lost watch, she did the most unbelievable thing. She took off the watch she was wearing on her left arm and handed it to me. “Until you get a new one,” she said, “you can borrow mine.” I was blown away!

Just as I was invited into the office of my Bible professor and shown grace, we also are invited into the presence of Almighty God. We can approach God’s throne of grace with great confidence, knowing that we will receive mercy and grace when we need it most. Lost watches, lost relationships, lost hope, lost confidence, and any other losses can be restored in his presence.

Daily Declaration – As God’s child, I can boldly approach His throne of grace. He adores me, He loves to take care of me, and He offers me incredible mercy and grace—especially when I am in need.

Daily Action – Perhaps you have never lost a watch, but there’s a good chance you have suffered other losses. What are 2-3 losses you have dealt with in the last year? Do you need to talk over any of these with God? Remember, God isn’t far away, He is near.

Daily Prayer – Lord, sometimes I forget to approach your throne to ask for help. Thank you that you are always available and always grace-filled with me. When I am at a loss or in need, would you give me courage to come into Your presence?
